Chapter 7: disciple exam begins
Uriel's hand was filled with an orb of solidified sand as the ground began cracking beneath her began to crack and splinter, "DreamPlosion", the orb left Uriel's hand as Ezekiel put the spear up to guard. The orb slammed into the spear it was launched from his exploding as it rocked the entire coliseum. Ezekiel was launched out of the coliseum and into the sky, "Dream huntsmen", four panthers made of sand began materializing. Ezekiel slammed into ground causing a crater as the coliseum began reappearing around him. The four panthers rushed him leaving trails of shimmering sand behind them. Ezekiel pushed himself out of the crater as the panthers closed in, "you've two have always underestimated me", Ezekiel held his hand out his spear shot back towards him cleaving through the panthers, "no matter how much you attack or damage me", he slammed his spear down pointing towards us, "I have been blessed by the Ares if you think some sand will stop me you are extremely mistaken", the spear began to glow brightly. The Spear stopped lowing as his grip tightened on the spear, "Full Artillery", the spear changed now being in a constant state of glowing red as the air vibrated around it, The armor covering his body and arms spread across his entire body as the parts covering his hand sharpening into claws as the maw completely over took his face forming an obsidian helmet resembling a hyena. He swung the spear downwards thundering force. The moment the spear connected with the ground it craved a canyon into`the ground spanning at least a fifty miles, "hmm thats a pretty small scale attack isn't it Uriel?", Uriel nodded as she looked over the canyon, "yeah i could probably muster power force with a bit of extra faith and a DreamPlosion", Ezekiel charged towards us whipping up chunks of the ground and pieces of the coliseum as he swung the spear in a figure eight type, "Feral Frenzy", he practically roared out the move as each swing of his caused canyons and the air to ripple. As Uriel and me moved through the attack with ease we could still feel the power from each swing. Everytime a canyon was created from his attack the surroundings kept repairing itself, "well this fight is starting to get boring", I raised my hand as a miniature glowing ball filled my palm, "hey i wanted the last hit", Uriel pouted as she stomped the ground like a child having a tantrum, "we'll just attack at the same time just don't put in too much faith or you might affect the natural world just keep it contained in the dimension", Uriel nodded along, "alright fine", Uriel began forming another DreamPlosion within her hand. Ezekiel seem to have sensed the finality of the attacks, "fine if you truly wish to kill me i shall return the intent", the entire dimension began to shake violently as Ezekiel's body started shimmering, "and if I shall die I'll at least take one of you with me", the air around him began to fracture as cracks of space began to show, "Godly Invocation", the light surrounding Ezekiel began to disappear, "Ares's Warlord", his spear was now made of fluid red faith constantly shifting changing into new weapons each second, The Hyena like armor is instead replaced by golden armor with shimmering qualities with a emblem resembling a wolf in the process of howling. The armors brightness was blinding almost as if i was standing in front of a blazing flame, "alright now that you're done becoming a nightlight you ready to die?", Uriel burst out laughing as she watched looked at Ezekiel's armor completely unfazed, "you're right he does look like a nightlight", I couldn't help but laugh alongside Uriel. Ezekiel Seemed to take offense to what we were we say since he decided lift his spear in the sky as it stretched and shifted into a large broadsword, "Seismic Divider", the sword slammed into the ground with thunderous force causing a thousand yard chasm. Me and Uriel were split up due to the chasm, "Hey it's my turn now right!!", I shouted over the chasm as Uriel looked over, "Yeah!!", I fist pumped the air as I turned to see Ezekiel who was standing on the same side of the chasm as me, "you're lil G-zone's Natural regeneration is slowing down that means you're getting low on faith huh", Ezekiel stayed silent as he rushed towards me. The broadsword shifted again this time into a naginata. He brought the blade down towards me with breakneck speed, "Sky Shattering", just before Ezekiel's blade touched me the air between us broke into solid fragments, "Micheal wai-", before Ezekiel finished his sentence I grasped on of the shards. The second I grabbed the shard my vision tunneled in as I felt my soul move as my body followed. The next second I was six feet behind Ezekiel as the remaining shards exploded as space shattered and a bright white light overtook the G-zone. The light faded away as the the G-zone completely faded away. A faint breathing came from behind, "you b-bastard", I turned as Ezekiel laid against a wall, "you couldn't withstand even a light attack from me you're quite weak that's probably why we never interacted weakling", His face was practically shaking and glowing red, "shut up!", I put my hand to my ear, "what was that I didn't hear you", he continued to shake as he tired to move, "Agh!", his body barely moved before he crumbled down against the wall, "welp anyways rock paper scissors for the final hit", I turned Uriel who already seemed ready, "rock paper scissors", I threw out at the same time as her, "shoot!", I looked at the rock Uriel out for a few seconds, "Ha I win", Uriel looked at me with a glare, "fine fine you win", she pouted and started to walk away, "i'm going to go to the kids just make it quick and don't destroy the building the exam is still taking place", I nodded as she exited the room and I turned back to Ezekiel, "welp that took a lot of my options away", I put my hands on my head thinking, "oh I have the perfect idea", I started towards Ezekiel as one of my rings began glowing with an icy white mist, "you'll be prefect to join the others", Ezekiel tried to back against the wall, "no no no", my hand made contact with his face, "Soul Extraction", the wails of the dead screamed loudly as Ezekiel's body began to shrink up as a cold feeling feeling my veins, "ahhh it's been a while since i've taken in a soul", I pulled my hand back from his face as his eyes were now completely white as his mouth hung open, "that's an unpleasant face to make y'know", I closed his mouth and eyes as I stood up and stretched widely. The sound of smooth footsteps and calming presence behind me told me exactly who it was, "Tu-kia aren't you a bit out of your natural habitat", the smooth black and white suit complimented her beige skin as the few patches of lighter skin around her face and neck, "well i was originally supposed to be one of the examiners for the disciple exam this year but your little moment interrupted it", I couldn't help but nervously laugh as I rubbed the back of my head, "my apologies Tu-kia for the mess but my own disciple was insulted and harmed I reacted perfectly fine and I don't regret it", Tu-kia's gentle voice sighed heavily pinching the bridges of her nose, "god Micheal you and Uriel always leave your messes for me to clean up", I laughed as put my hand on both of shoulders looking down towards her, "aww sis no need to be so rude you're acting like we always leave messes", my sisters face was priceless as always, "do I have to recount the list of incidents i've had to clean up because I can", the cockiness of her's was a stark reminder that she was my little sister, "fine fine relax just clean this up for me sis", she looked at me with uninterested eyes, "say the magic word", I laughed as I looked her, "you're still being this childish sister you're seventeen grow up", the tapping of her foot and raised eyebrow told me exactly what she was going to say next, "first off stop trying to deage me i'm twenty one second off i'm using up my faith to clean up your mess so you can at least say please", I laughed a bit more, "fine Tu-kia will you please up the mess of your older brother", the smile of her's was like looking into the definition of kindness, "fine then i'll hope my idiot older brother", she poked my nose as she finished speaking, "and after this you better introduce me to your disciple too", I nodded as Tu-kia began to walk towards Ezekiel. She inspected him, "ring of the lost huh quite brutal brother", I walked up behind her looking at him,"yeah just had to considering what he did", she nodded silently, "whatever i'll handle it", Tu-kia's hand began to glow as an infinite sign sigil formed on the back of her hand, "Infinity Capture", the space surrounding Ezekiel's body began to phase in and out of visibility. The next second the entirety of Ezekiel's body disappeared as an infinity symbol burned into the wall, "Thank", she nodded as she shook the smoke from her hand, "no problem now lets go the association is sending people to restore the registration room", I looked around the room seeing multiple chucks of brinks and concrete from before we entered the g-zone, "fine you need to meet my disciple anyways", Tu-kia started out of the room before me, "yeah lets see your first disciple", I followed after her

A bunch of people in suits lead by came and took us all back into the building after they spotted us. The halls of the building was more pristine then the registration room, "so who do you think won?", I looked over to Eden. "as much as I would like to deny it i'll say Micheal since Uriel is here and he isn't", I fist pumped the air slightly, "yes I knew it, Eden just blankly stared at me as jak kept a smile on his face, "knew what brat", I nearly jumped outta my skin as I turned and instinctively threw a punch. The similar feeling of steel calmed me, "oh Micheal don't just pop up like that and erase your presence", I looked at my hand that was currently in Micheals grasp, "good to know you at least have a good defense mechanism that means i'm doing good", Micheal let my hand go as I noticed a woman next to him with bronze skin and light patches of skin around her neck and face, "who is she Micheal?", Micheal smiled brighter then when he spoke about Adam, "This is Tu-kia my younger sister", I wasn't sure how to process the information I had just heard, "you have a siste?r", I had momentarily locked eyes with Tu-kia as her hazel eyes were like a cats, "yep and i'm the better one", the smack to Micheals head was amusing as Tu-kia's hand slapped the back of Micheals head, "you're so mean ya know try being nice", Micheal huffed slightly, "I am nice it's just that you're my source of irritation", Micheal laughed as he slung his arm over her shoulder, "anyways lets go to the registration area the exams beginning soon", Tu-kia started to lead us away back towards the registration area where everyone was back gathered as if nothing happened. Tu-kia stepped in front of everyone as we shuffled into the crowd, "alright everyone i'll be one of the examiners for this years disciple exam", a few murmurs rippled through the crowd, "Now if you do not know the exam will be split into three parts", more murmurs started to ripple, "and i'll be leading the first exam", all of a sudden the wall behind Tu-kia suddenly opened up like two grand door showing a large forest, "Welcome to zone zero", I looked forward before walking. I stepped through the wall seeing an entire replica of the city through the breaks in the foliage, "the point of the first exam is to weed out the weaker ones as well as the showcase for your individual abilities so no teaming up", that sent massive ripples through the crowd as various murmurs of varying sizes started, "quiet down so I may continue", everyone began to grow louder, "Quiet!" the fell so silent I could hear each thump of my heart, "good now any more disruptions or can i continue", everyone stayed quiet, "now as I saying you'll each be given light armor and singular weapon pick so choose wisely", the men in suits who brought us began to bring in table with weapons varying from dagger to pistols and then they brought in a table full of sleek black suits with what looked like slim screens imbedded in the center, "so what weapons are you guys choosing", Jak smiled as he picked up a pair of steel plated gloves, "these even though they shouldn't be shouldn't be here", Eden picked of what looked like a steel rapier, "I think i'll use this", I looked over the table at the weapons before picking up one, "seriously never thought of you the type to do that", I look at the pistol in my hand it's weight was heavy both physically and mentally, "i'm not but i'm going with a different strategy then I originally planned", we started to the table holding the armor, "and what is that?", Eden's curiosity was visible all over her face, "to show why i'm Micheals first and only", Jak and Eden slightly laughed before being interrupted, "attention everyone", everyone's attention went to Tu-kia who was holding up one of the suits, "this is the huntsman suit it'll count how many people you've taken out", the crowd was surprisingly quiet as she continued, "these suits are powerful enough to withstand most forms or blunt sharp force so the damage done to another participant should be minimal alright", everyone showed some form of agreement, "good then go get dress and prepared", the area began to clear out as everyone went to the gender assigned changing rooms. The feel of the suit was almost like cloth as the weight of the pistol in my hand started to get heavier, "Everyone ready", The entire crowd spoke in unison, "Yes ma'am!", Tu-kia smiled slightly then good let the disciple exams begin", I looked to Jak and Eden, "we'll meet up at the next part of the exam", they nodded in unison before we all took off in different directions beginning the disciple exam for us all
